Listening Part 1: Renting a flat

Agent: Good afternoon, Lakeside Lettings. Tom speaking.

Priya: Hello. I'm calling about a flat on Mill Street. I saw it on your website.

Agent: Ah yes, the one-bedroom flat at number eighteen?

Priya: I don't think so. The one I saw has two bedrooms, and it's on the second floor.

Agent: Oh, sorry. You mean number eighty-one, Mill Street. We've got two flats on that street. Yes, two bedrooms, second floor.

Priya: That's the one. How much is the rent?

Agent: It's nine hundred and fifty pounds a month. That includes water, but not electricity or the internet.

Priya: And is there a deposit?

Agent: Yes. It's the same as one month's rent.

Priya: OK. Is the flat furnished?

Agent: Partly. There's a sofa, two beds and a washing machine, but there's no dining table.

Priya: That's fine, I've got my own table. Is there anywhere to park?

Agent: There's no parking space, I'm afraid. But there's a bus stop right outside, and the station is a ten-minute walk.

Priya: Good. When is it available?

Agent: The current tenant leaves at the end of August, so it will be available from the first of September.

Priya: Lovely. Could I come and see it?

Agent: Of course. Are you free on Thursday at half past five?

Priya: I finish work at half past five. Could we make it six?

Agent: Six is fine. Can I take your name?

Priya: Priya Sharma. That's S, H, A, R, M, A.

Agent: And a contact number?

Priya: It's oh seven eight one two, four double six, three oh nine.

Agent: Thanks. Oh, one more thing. The owner doesn't allow pets in that building. You don't have any?

Priya: No pets. Just a lot of plants!

Agent: Plants are fine. See you on Thursday.
